Notget (Lotic Keptsafe Version)
Björk
Notget (Lotic Keptsafe Version) is a single-track remix release and a key part of the Vulnicura Remix Project – Part One, where Berlin-based producer Lotic reworks the song “Notget” from Björk’s 2015 album Vulnicura. The Keptsafe version was released digitally in mid‑2015 and on a limited, single-sided, etched translucent 12‑inch through One Little Independent, packaged in the series’ characteristic die‑cut “wound” sleeve. It was also showcased in a Tri Angle Records Rinse FM mix Björk co‑curated, helping introduce the remix to listeners already engaged with Vulnicura’s string‑laden, breakup‑themed material.
Musically, Lotic’s Keptsafe version surrounds Björk’s original vocal with “clouds of clicking, juddering electronics,” as one shop description puts it, translating the song’s grief and resolve into an unstable, deconstructed-club soundscape. The remix keeps her voice and much of the song’s melodic backbone intact but reframes them with elastic, gravity‑defying beats and fractured textures that seem to continually build and collapse, mirroring the lyric’s struggle to accept loss without erasing pain. Björk has said she chose Lotic for “Notget” because she and Arca heard in Lotic’s work a particular kind of suspended, beat-driven tension that the original track already hinted at, and she felt Lotic could “take it further”—resulting in a version that emphasizes the sorrowful, haunted side of the song, in contrast to Lotic’s companion “Fromdeath” remix, which leans more toward healing and reclamation.
